More Messages: Lost in the Stream
People who remained on the job but wanted to check on the progress of "A Day Without Immigrants," the May 1 march and rally at the State Capitol, had what appeared to be an excellent way to do so. Channels 4, 7 and 9 each offered live streaming coverage of the event. But when I visited the sites beginning around 11:15 a.m., I discovered glitches galore.
At Channel 9's site, the video coverage popped up right away, and while the images, as seen from the station's helicopter, occasionally froze, they were clearly visible -- but only for about fifteen seconds. Then, without warning, the screen was filled with green blobs, as if someone was shining a flashlight through an undulating bowl of Grandma's Jell-O.
Next, I surfed to Channel 7's web address, where irony was on tap: The advertisement I was forced to watch before seeing footage of people who had left their work for the rally spotlighted Monster.com, an Internet employment specialist. It was worth the wait, though, because the shots from Channel 7's helicopter were accompanied by random comments from airborne reporter Jayson Luber, who apparently didn't realize that his microphone was on. Computer users could only hear his side of the conversation, so they had to fill in the gaps around remarks such as, "Was that just for fun? A circle? Ha, ha, ha, ha," and "Whoa -- they're going back for gas again?"
The live stream at Channel 4's page was considerably less satisfying. The image took forever -- well, maybe ninety seconds -- to come up, and when it did, it showed a shot featuring a whole lot of sky and very little city as seen through the helicopter's landing strut. The image stayed pretty much the same for the next ten seconds, after which it vanished. Replacing it were the words, "Thanks for Watching."
It was nothing. Really nothing. -- Michael Roberts

EXPECTATIONS: There isn't an awful lot to say about my expectations for Larry Crowne. It's nice to see Tom Hanks headlining a film again, both as an actor and a director, and it's nice to know we have a comedy out this year that doesn't include talking animals, Jason Bateman or a "2" in the title. Perhaps most importantly, Larry Crowne rhymes with Harry Brown, which turned out to be pretty good. See? That's how logic works.
The hairdye isn't fooling anyone, Tom.REALITY: I am feeling positive. Hell, I could achieve anything! Have you ever felt like that? It usually starts with someone telling you all the life-affirming things you want to hear. Then you step out to face the world, full of joy and complacency. It's not until some time later that you realise all the things you were told are kind of meaningless, but who cares? I think this is exactly how Tom Hanks felt when he decided to make Larry Crowne and he just wanted to pass that along. I assume that, by the end of pre-production, Hanks' piss and vinegar had somewhat dried up and he felt the best thing to do was carefully calculate all the things that might replicate that feeling. It's forced and flimsy, but it makes up for it by doing something we haven't seen much of lately, which is being genuinely funny.
Middle-aged U-Mart employee Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) one day finds himself fired without warning because of his lack of a college education. After a week or so of job-hunting he finally enrolls into some "life-changing" classes at the local college, chiefly "Speech 217" with Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts). Larry knuckles down and develops a romantic interest in Mrs. Tainot. With help from his young scooter-driving friends Talia (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Dell (Wilmer Valderrama), he learns you can change your life for the better, even in hard times.
You can see how deliberately uplifting the whole thing is, even though the message is no more complicated than "learning a few skills couldn't hurt" or "sometimes change is okay." If you want something genuinely inspirational, this isn't it. It's more along the lines of an affectionate hug after a hard day or being treated to a nice pub lunch. What I'm saying is that this will certainly cheer you up, it may even make your day, but you won't be dwelling on the ideas explored in Larry Crowne in a week's time. If you wanted that though, you'd see The Tree of Life. This is the kind of film you see to pass the time on a lazy afternoon, and in that regard, it works very well.
Remember funny films? Remember good gags and charming performances? Remember when comedy wasn't all about horrible things happening to horrible people? Tom Hanks remembers, and he remembers how to do it well. There are a lot of laughs to be found here, and none of the gags fall flat. Much of this is owed to the supporting cast that Hanks has surrounded himself with. Crowne's fellow students are all very funny, and there are some surprise appearances from some seasoned actors too; Pam Grier, Dale Dye and Bryan Cranston all show up, but the absolute standout performance comes from George Takei as economics teacher Dr. Matsutani. Takei has a perfect voice for comedy: Who else could pull off a line like "They call them smart-phones, but only dummies use them in my class" with such aplomb?
This is about as romantic as it gets.
So this is a rom-com with a lot of emphasis on the com and a rather lacklustre attempt at the rom. Hanks and Roberts are very watchable individually, but they don't really have any chemistry. That aside, they barely share any screentime in which to explore their limited chemistry. They're just kind of forced together in a handful of scenes, and we're expected to root for them to get together. Worse still is the fact that they do pretend-kissing. There's nothing that pulls you out of a supposedly romantic scene like seeing two actors press their faces together and pretend to be kissing. Are you embarrassed to kiss a girl, Tom? Are you worried your wife will be angry?
I know romantic comedies are generally looked down upon by critics as a lesser form of filmmaking. But, everything has a purpose. The purpose of romantic comedies is right there in the name. If you're only delivering on one half of what you're promising, you set people up for disappointment. That said, tipping the scales heavily in one direction can be good enough sometimes. Larry Crowne is fine and dandy if you want an antidote for The Hangover Part II. You know, something old fashioned, positive and actually funny.

Symbol of the Spanish Golden Age
The Monastery of El Escorial was the first example of the architectural style which came to be known as Herrerian after its creator, Juan de Herrera. It holds the designation of World Heritage site.
Philip II used this Royal Site for his family pantheon. Construction work began in 1563 under Juan de Toledo, and on his death was continued by Juan de Herrera, who completed the building in 1584. It is built in granite and divided into three areas. The central area is the Kings' Courtyard. There is a tower at each of its four corners measuring 55 metres, each crowned by a metal sphere. The compound includes the Ministries, Casa de los Oficios artisans' houses, the Compaña –where the company was quartered–, and the apartments of the Infantes and Queen, all connected via arches. The church is laid out in the shape of a Greek cross and there are funerary monuments to Charles V and Philip II in the main chapel. The library is also of particular interest. It is on the first floor of the west wing, and contains close to 45,000 documents from the 15th and 16th centuries. It was designated a Historic-Artistic site in 1971 and received the World Heritage designation in 1984. The building was designed by Juan de Herrera and gave rise to an architectural style known as Herrerian. It is a substantial construction, as can be seen from its 15 cloisters, 13 oratories, 86 staircases, 88 fountains, more than 1,600 paintings, nine towers and 73 sculptures.

Pressed by broadcasters and record labels seeking to mandate FM radios in future cell phones, the Consumer Electronics Association asked Americans what they thought of the proposal. Seventy percent oppose the mandate, the CEA found, according to the results of a survey released Tuesday.
The CEA survey of 1,257 U.S. adults also found that 75% of the respondents agreed that designs of consumer electronics products should be carried out by manufacturers and not by government agencies. The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has been lobbying Congress to mandate FM radio chips in new mobile phones.
"With broadcasters asking Congress to force consumers to buy mobile phones with FM radios built in, we thought it was time to ask consumers what they want," said Gary Shapiro, CEA president and CEO, in a statement.
"This study," he continued, "proves there is little consumer demand for radio-capable cell phones… For those few consumers who want a radio in their mobile phones, manufacturers offer several dozen such devices that are already on the market."
An even wider percentage of respondents -- 80% -- said they do not support a government mandate that would require manufacturers to install FM tuners in mobile phones.
In a battle of surveys, the NAB countered the CEA with the results of a survey of its own taken earlier this month showing that a majority of U.S. cell phone users want the ability to listen to their favorite local radio stations via radio receivers on their mobile phones.
Conducted by Harris Interactive, the survey of 2,587 adults found that 76% of the respondents said they would consider paying a one-time fee of 30 cents to be able to access local radio stations on their cell phones.
"Unfortunately, most U.S. mobile phone users have been denied over-the-air access to their favorite free and local stations," said NAB executive vice president of communications Dennis Wharton in a statement.
Wharton also suggested wireless carriers and manufacturers may have an ulterior motive for opposing the mandatory inclusion of FM radios in cell phones -- that cell phone users would be spending time listening to free FM music would be taking away from fee-based services charged by carriers.
As background, the NAB worked out a compromise with the Recording Industry Association of America to lobby Congress to change the laws that govern the music and radio industries in the way music is played on cell phones.
Under the NAB proposal, fees for non-profit and small commercial stations would be $100 or 1% of revenue. Stations with more than $1.25 million in revenue would pay 1% of their revenue. Stations playing incidental music like news, talk and sports-oriented stations would not be required to pay anything and neither would religious service stations.
The NAB also has argued that FM radio on cell phones would have public safety overtones and provide an important service in times of disasters requiring large populations to be alerted quickly.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

Hurricane Sandy Relief Bill - Good Coastal Policy?
January 8, 2013 06:12 AM - Rob Young, from YALE Environment360
Next week, the U.S. Congress is expected to vote on the bulk of $60 billion in emergency spending to provide for recovery from Hurricane Sandy. Clearly, significant aid is needed to repair the damage left by the storm and to help many people put their lives back together. But the bill before Congress includes provisions authorizing spending that would be fiscally irresponsible and environmentally damaging and would set a very bad precedent as we plan for long-term adaptation to rising sea levels and climate change. The bill goes far beyond the immediate need for emergency assistance by funding a massive coastal engineering effort that is not based on science or wise planning. As currently proposed, the bill would give the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers roughly $4.5 billion to spend on coastal construction projects related to "flood control and risk reduction." Most troubling, the bill requires the Corps to attempt to rebuild the New Jersey and New York beaches to their "design profile." In other words, the Corps will work to put the beaches back exactly as they were before the storm, ignoring the reality of rising sea levels and intensifying storms as the world warms.
Fiscal Cliff Deal Extends Biofuel Credits
January 7, 2013 08:51 AM - RP Siegel, Triple Pundit
By now the New Year's fiscal cliff deal has received quite a bit of press. We have already discussed the significance of extending the Wind Production Tax Credit here earlier. Less well known is the inclusion of measures included in the deal to revive tax credits for advanced biofuels. It is well worth a moment to examine these to understand what impact these actions might have on both our future energy and food supply.
Sea level rise of more than 3 feet plausible by 2100
January 7, 2013 06:17 AM - John Roach, Science on NBC News
Melting glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland may push up global sea levels more than 3 feet by the end of this century, according to a scientific poll of experts that brings a degree of clarity to a murky and controversial slice of climate science. Such a rise in the seas would displace millions of people from low-lying countries such as Bangladesh, swamp atolls in the Pacific Ocean, cause dikes in Holland to fail, and cost coastal mega-cities from New York to Tokyo billions of dollars for construction of sea walls and other infrastructure to combat the tides.
Carbon Dioxide Concentrations and Sea Level
January 6, 2013 08:03 AM - Science Daily
By comparing reconstructions of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and sea level over the past 40 million years, researchers based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton have found that greenhouse gas concentrations similar to the present (almost 400 parts per million) were systematically associated with sea levels at least nine metres above current levels. The study determined the 'natural equilibrium' sea level for CO2 concentrations ranging between ice-age values of 180 parts per million and ice-free values of more than 1,000 parts per million.
Oil is Still World's Largest Energy Source, But Coal and Natural Gas are Gaining
January 5, 2013 08:03 AM - Matt Lucky & Reese Rogers , Worldwatch Institute
Oil remains the world's leading energy source - for now. In recent years, coal and natural gas have proven themselves increasingly important resources across the globe. Global consumption of coal increased 5.4 percent in 2011, to 3.72 billion tons of oil equivalent, while natural gas use grew 2.2 percent, to 2.91 billion tons of oil equivalent. Both are primary fuels for the world's electricity market, and because they are often used as substitutes for one other, their trends need to be examined together. The bulk of coal use is for power generation, with smaller amounts being used in steelmaking. Spurred mainly by rising demand in China and India, coal's share in the global primary energy mix reached 28 percent in 2011—its highest point since the International Energy Agency began keeping statistics in 1971. Although the United States remains one of the world's largest coal users, just over 70 percent of global demand in 2011 was in countries outside of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), including China and India. Consumption in non-OECD countries grew 8 percent in 2011 to 2.63 billion tons of oil equivalent.
You Can't Buy a Single-Serve Plastic Bottle of Water in Concord Massachusetts

Concord is the first town in the nation where the sale of plastic water bottles is prohibited. A new year brings a controversial new law into effect in Concord: no one can sell single-serving plastic water bottles. "I think Concord, you know, they have a good point about the plastic. I really do and I think other towns might follow,"ť one woman said. The new law is the talk of the town.
Addressing Climate Change Will Cost Less if Done Sooner
January 3, 2013 06:22 AM - EurActive
An agreement by almost 200 nations to curb rising greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 will be far more costly than taking action now to tackle climate change, a new report says. Quick measures to cut emissions would give a far better chance of keeping global warming within an agreed UN limit of 2o Celsius above pre-industrial times to avert more floods, heatwaves, droughts and rising sea levels. "If you delay action by 10, 20 years you significantly reduce the chances of meeting the 2Âş target," said Keywan Riahi, one of the authors of the report at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria.
January 2, 2013 02:42 PM - Andy Soos, ENN
With policymakers and political leaders increasingly unable to control global climate change, more scientists are considering the use of other engineering approaches other than control at the source to reduce warming impact. The problem is whatever you do, it will have some impact somewhere and somehow. The impact may be good but it also may be bad. U University of Iowa law professor believes the legal ramifications of this kind of geo-engineering need to be thought through in advance and a global governance structure put in place soon to oversee these efforts.
Climate Change Finally Getting Our Collective Attention
January 2, 2013 07:02 AM - Gia Machlin, Triple Pundit
It's that time of year when we look back and reflect on the past year and make silly lists. ENN Affiliate, TriplePundit has assembled a Top Five list of the reasons that Climate Change is finally getting more attention. This list is far from silly — it is quite sobering news for many of us to accept. In 2012, climate change came to the forefront. Here are 5 reasons why: 5) 2012 was the hottest year on record. A December 2012 report by the independent non profit organization Climate Central states: "There is a 99.99999999 percent chance that 2012 will be the hottest year ever recorded in the continental 48 states, based on our analysis of 118 years of temperature records through Dec. 10, 2012." Not that we won't see more days with below freezing temperatures and chilling winds, but those days are becoming less frequent. While this is good news for those that hate the cold, it is bad news for the planet, as sea levels rise and arctic habitats disappear.
Antibiotics or Oregano to Keep Chickens Healthy?
December 30, 2012 08:31 AM - Tafline Laylin, Green Prophet
It's za'atar season in the Middle East and though we don't really need it, there's another reason to love this versatile spice: it could be useful as an alternative to antibiotics. Both a perennial herb and a spice mixed with other ingredients, za'atar livens up a host of dishes throughout the Gulf, Levant and Mediterranean. Now a small handful of farmers in the United States are feeding their poultry and livestock an oregano oil mixture in lieu of increasingly ineffective antibiotics, The New York Times reports. And they insist it keeps the animals disease free. Though the numbers are compelling, scientists caution there is insufficient data to substantiate their claims.

My sister and I (middle 40's) stayed at this charming bed and breakfast place on a Friday night in January. We wanted to do dinner in the city and then stay overnight at the inn.
First of all, the location is unbeatable, literally in the heart of Union Square and half a block from Saks Fifth Avenue. It is an easy 4 block walk from the Powell BART station so if you are coming from the East Bay, you don't need to drive to the hotel, or if you are coming from the SFO BART station, just get off at the Powell Street BART station.
The receptionist couldn't be friendlier and made us feel welcome right away. We missed the wine and cheese hour (late afternoon to early evening) so I can't review the offerings. We booked the penthouse (Room 605) and it was worth every penny. Although the room is still not particularly spacious, the bathroom was wonderful (Jacuzzi style oversized tub) and there was even a separate sitting room with a nice vanity. Very convenient for women applying makeup or styling their hair.
The bed was very comfortable. The soundproofing was great - even though Union Square is busy on a Friday night, the windows must be double paned - we both are light sleepers and we didn't hear anything.
Although they offer room service from Morton's steakhouse, I would dine out - there is no excuse. There are so many wonderful restaurants within 2 blocks (Farallon) and if you venture less than half a mile, there is Michael Mina's.
Breakfast was good - a nice assortment of pastries - fresh squeezed orange juice and Peet's coffee.
Although the penthouse has a fireplace, if you are used to fireplaces in Mendocino or Big Sur, you might be a little disappointed - not many logs. But this is such a minor point, which is why I am still rating this property 5 stars. The service is wonderful.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Inn at Union Square is truly an urban retreat, in classic San Francisco style. The intimacy of our 30 elegant and restful rooms and suites provides the setting for our gracious staff to tend to your every need. From greeting you by name to making sure you have an umbrella when it rains- it is our pleasure to serve you. The Inn is located steps from Union Square- the city's center for shopping, theatre and dining. If business is on the agenda, it is an easy stroll to the Financial District or the Moscone Convention Center. The Inn at Union Square is away from the crowd, in the center of everything. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire, Odigeo and Jetsetter so you can book your The Inn at Union Square reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

|Add To My Favorites
This is a bluffing game where people take turns playing cards from their hand face down onto the table according to some rule and declaring what was played. You do not need to tell the truth. If another player thinks that the rule has been broken, they can say "I doubt it" and turn over the cards to check. Whoever was wrong, must take all the cards on the table. The goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards.
This game is also known by some other, more colorful, names which we cannot reprint here.

text: In addition, students with part-time jobs, older students who have families and those who are going through tough personal struggles simply need help to go through all challenges they face. Whether you are just starting to brainstorm a topic for your own essay, or already are working on a draft, reading what other students have written can spark ideas and provide inspiration for your own pieces. As you gather your resources, jot down full bibliographical information author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, page numbers, URLs, creation or modification dates on Web pages, and your date of access on your work sheet, printout, or enter the information on your laptop or desktop computer for later retrieval. With communications being a vital skill for anyone entering the workforce, our education system recognizes this and strives to prepare our students by requiring them to improve this skill through writing assignments. For confidentiality reasons, admissions officers can't talk about these essays expressly, so we chose essays that demonstrate the most salient principles to abide by when writing them. The papers might pass a plagiarism scan, but there's always the chance that a tutor will spot the signs of an essay that hasn't been written by its submitter — disparity in writing style, for example. Here you will analyze, synthesize, sort, and digest the information you have gathered and hopefully learn something about your topic which is the real purpose of doing a research paper in the first place. I have spent a lot of time agonizing over how to spell the simplest words, and I doubt anyone has quite attained my level of red underlines in a word document, but that just means checking the dictionary and an age spent poring over SpellCheck. You have found the best source of specific tips and strategies on exactly how to brainstorm topics for each of the 5 prompts—and learn to craft a powerful college application essay using a narrative story-telling style. There are many other options available for international, and any other student that may be struggling to keep up, from study groups, to programs within schools and Universities, such as writing centers. Your instructor may ask for multiple similarities and differences--make sure you're prepared to write a well-developed, meaningful essay on a topic that you know well before you get started! This makes sense because they are already rich as they are able to fund an MBA, will therefore have good contacts and most importantly can act like they now what they are doing in an industry which prides itself on pretending just that. We got orders from all types of students - lazy ones who only want to find an easier way out of a messy situation, as well as really smart young people who simply couldn't find the time to do their own work. The rapid growth of the custom-writing industry is a symptom of the great weaknesses within the educational system, which put students through a great deal of stress and emotional struggle. We all know the definition of cheating is, and simply saying that the work is more challenging for most or that they may not receive enough support from educators, or have enough time to dedicate to the work does not change the definition of cheating, or make it right in any way. Luckily, since these students have spent two years touring bigger, fancier schools in faraway places, they can fall back on some patch of truth, as they chronicle the adventure of their college selection process. And you will get an inspiring lecture, a disappointing performance review, an enlightening conversation with a friend, a travel experience, running a marathon, a stimulating book—all of these can be terrific material for your essays.

I am really having difficulties with time management and I would like to know if I have to focus on practicing to write less words AND correctly rather than just writing a longer essay. All you have to do is shell out a few thou, bank on your essay arriving on time, hope it's grammatically correct, ensure it makes sense, pray you don't get found out, keep it quiet from all your friends just to be safe , and live on packet noodles for the rest of term. They might expect that admissions committees, like their 11th grade English teachers, will swoon over their thoughtful use of topic sentences and supporting arguments, while ignoring the fact that Mike the Situation is a schmuck. I was convinced that students who got into Harvard, Berkeley, Oxford, Cambridge, and other prestigious US and UK universities would work much harder than the ones admitted to "secondary" schools. This way, you can make sure that a given school is receiving all of your key stories, and that you are spreading out different stories across an application and not being repetitive. One user, who goes by the forum name RippedOff, told me that when she complained about not receiving an essay on time, she was informed that the company had been unable to get in contact with her assigned writer. Well, I eager to learn english many more, so give me advice to take study hard day by day, actually my english is not bad, but sometimes i always feeling not confident to say with someone, can you show me some friends to share with me, and tell me how to speak better than now? Everyone, I have realized, has their own distinct way of life defined by various situations from trying to succeed as a first generation immigrant to working to help their family make ends meet each month. You can quote something the guide told you, or something you saw while there students working together with a professor in a chemistry lab, the types of diverse students you saw hanging out on the lawn, a cool new building, etc. We will contact you back in regards to your inquiry via the phone number you specify in the form as well as with a confirmation letter to your e-mail address approximately 15-20 minutes after you send us your inquiry. As much as I enjoyed the exotic experience of being in North Africa and the not-so-exotic experience of reconnecting with my family, my time in Libya paradoxically strengthened the latter half of my Arab-American identity. Or perhaps this is how art works: One will never understand the power it has for the individual but not his neighbor, for the dancer but not the audience member, for the mother but not the daughter. College Application Essays: One Piece Of the Admissions Puzzle This is the time of year many high school juniors start to get serious about their college admissions strategy—including their college application essays. I deeply admired the connection to their religion that my relatives showed, stopping to prostrate in prayer even at the beach, but also wondered whether the internal belief of five million Libyans could possibly be as parallel as their outward expressions of it. We strive to foster a diverse and inclusive community for all that engages each member in opportunities for academic excellence, leadership, and a deeper understanding of the world in which we live. Allot time for rewriting: Writing the essay can take as few as two hours, says Brandon Royal, author of "Secrets to Getting Into Business School: 100 Proven Admissions Strategies to Get You Accepted at the MBA Program of Your Dreams. By on March 28, 2014 in , , , While the TOEFL is generally a very different type of test from the GRE, the GMAT, and the SAT, there are a few similarities, and the writing section is one of them. Aside from the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas someone write my paper for me is a shame and despair 124 CHAPTER 11 irrational woman on the details of clothing All you have to do is say the magic words, "write my essays" and you will get the help you need. Things go wrong at university — family bereavements, personal crises, simple time mismanagement — and the sheer stomach-turning, throat-constricting panic of being unable to produce an assignment on deadline leads vulnerable students down this costly path. Make sure you budget time to draft and redraft, try new approaches and carefully edit so that each line packs the maximum punch 1 As soon as you know that you are going to apply to business school, you can start to prepare in a low-stress way. Put in search words for University of Colorado and some of those key words: leadership, clubs, opportunities, programs, study abroad, speaker program, study groups, support groups, etc. Yet online forums are full of complaints about essays arriving peppered with spelling mistakes, arguments that don't match pre-approved propositions and — the most common grievance — results that don't match the promised grade. It adds that, due to the fact the essays are purely for research, that shiny guaranteed 2:1 you were promised on the home page refers only to the general standard of the essay and not your final grade.

MODIS/Aqua Vegetation Indices 16-Day L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG V006
Entry ID: MYD13C1
The MYD13C1 Version 6 product provides a Vegetation Index (VI) value at a per pixel basis. There are 2 primary vegetation layers. The first is the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which is referred to as the continuity index to the existing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (NOAA-AVHRR) derived NDVI. The second vegetation layer is the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), which has improved sensitivity over high biomass regions.
The Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) consists 3,600 rows and 7,200 columns of 5,600 m pixels. The MYD13A2 (1 km) is used to produce this product. Nominally each CMG consists of 286 tiles which are reprojected into the Geographic projection, spatially averaged and Quality Assurance (QA) filtered. The MYD13C1 has data fields for the NDVI, EVI, VI QA, reflectance data, angular information, and spatial statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and number of used input pixels at the 0.05 degree CMG resolution. Validation at stage 3 has been achieved for all MODIS MOD/MYD13 vegetation products.

Possibly delete the people that are not active with this site anymore. Perhaps like delete profiles that haven't been active for 100+ days. I don't like this idea because many of those people come back. There can be various reasons such as medical reasons that the member has been unable to be active. Military personnel could be on deployment that does not allow them to be active for several months to a year or more. Someone else could be serving a sentence for minor drugs such as possession of marijuana. As ridiculous as it is, they can easily serve a year in jail or more for that. There are countless reasons that could keep a member away that eventually wants to come back and be active.And there are members who may have passed away but would love to have their stories still posted and profiles kept for posterity. People like to be remembered, and their friends like to remember them. Plus just having the stories available for readers to enjoy. First of all, this is an erotic story website!
I think they served hunch punch at both conventions from the looks of things. I believe we're all going to need to be shitfaced drunk for the next four years.The grain alcohol really doesn't have any taste. I mean fumes mostly. ha It depends upon how you make the punch. Cutting up a lot of fruit is good. You can eat the fruit out of it too. The fruit has absorbed the alcohol also, so it's all going to get you smashed.Yes, I've enjoyed quite a few fraternity hunch punch parties. Several while wearing a toga. Of course, I sometimes lost my toga. I should've worn something underneath but the proper way to toga is commando. In fact, it's the only way to toga!
Look up my skirt and find the Glock 26 in a garter holster. Run away quickly. We'd have fun comparing pistols. I'm usually strapping my a 40 cal (I have both a S&W & a Ruger) or if I'm feeling really bad, my Colt 45 auto (but it is hard to conceal). My wife sometimes wears a garter holster. She loves to whisper, "I'm packing" in my ear.
Don't drink this shit straight. It's 190 proof, yes, 96% alcohol and will destroy brain cells. But fill a tub with Hawaiin Punch, orange juice, cranberry juice, cut up some oranges, apples, watermelon and cantaloupe and put in some grapes. Chill the tub in some ice until it's cold then you can pour in a few bottles of grain alcohol and have yourself a hunch punch party. Please do not drive or operate machinery for 24 hours after. https://upload.lushstories.com/529397517-everclear-grain-alcohol-190-1l-united-states-400px-400px.jpg

My boobs have been seen by so many people, they're almost public domain! lol Unless I'm at work, I'm braless in a loose or low-cut top out in public, so lots of people get a peek at my tits if they're in the right spot.

He's cheerleading the, in his mind, lesser of two evils. He's lost the primaries and he acknowledges that that means he needs a different approach if he wants to keep having some influence in Clinton's campaign. He can help her to pursuade his followers to vote for her and thereby defeat Trump. In return, she will need to move more towards his standpoints and that of his supporters, which at this point is the best they can hope for really. If Clinton moves toward the Sanders side, she loses the moderate middle. She can't be all things to all people. The left can either support her or let Trump win. The final showdown is in the middle. It's only a two party system. There are no significant third parties, the biggest third being the Libertarians.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/InBXu-iY7cw Aaaaaaaargh! Shiver me timbers!The entire US federal government is a bunch of pirates as are our two major political parties. But there ain't a damn thing we can or WILL do about it.
Capitalism needs immigrant labor. And really, who is going to do those jobs that immigrants do if they aren't here to do them? Americans? Hell no! Dirty, nasty, hard, labor intensive, work in the heat or extreme cold, jobs? No fucking way! Not even if you paid them great salaries, which would be stupid anyhow.We need immigrants. immigrants from Mexico and Central America work very hard and appreciate the opportunity.

I've had a decent number of good bar arguments and discussions about what is a sport. Modern olympics started with such events as tug of war and standing high jump. Can't wait to read a good story about dressage (also an Olympic sport). ;) Tug of War should definitely be brought back to the Olympics. For both male and female athletes. A team of 10 representing each nation. I'd love it.I can tell you who'd be hard to beat. The UK. The Brits are really into the heavy lifting stuff for those strongest men in the world competitions. They could field a team that would be hard as hell to beat. And if the blood doping Russians aren't there, the Brits might have an easy gold for the men.********I think this will be an entertaining competition. Sport & Sex! hmm... I think of sex as an athletic endeavor anyhow. You should do it a manner that leaves you physically exhausted. Just more fun to me.
Collard greens, fried green tomatoes, grilled corn on the cob, mashed potatoes with white gravy, cantaloupe, and a buttermilk biscuit. Sweet tea... and peach cobbler.
There is a bench warrant out for her arrest. For tossing underwear on public signs. I'd say very naughty!
I'd like to see a limit on how many pictures someone can post on your wall in one posting. I'd say no more than 2 pictures allowed in one post.
Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton. I'm terrified. Surely this is a prank being pulled on us by some kind of greater power. Maybe those ancient aliens are back. I'm pretty sure this is the Apocolypse. Yes, that fucking mega-giant volcano simmering under Yellowstone National Park is going to erupt. It's the end of time for humans.Of course, all of us in North America are going to die quickly when that things erupts. We'll barely be aware of it before we're dead. Y'all in the rest of the world. Uh... I'm sorry but y'all might hang on for days without water or food and endure kinds of awful suffering.The end is near!

Getting rid of it permanently? What if you get divorced and your significant other dumps you and your next lover likes it hairy or maybe just a trim? Or what if the Bushes, yep, George and them, take over the world (Though they might actually be running everything anyhow). Ya know, shaving and waxing will become illegal. We'll all have to Bush-y.
There are so many bad ones where does begin their list?

The Apache AH-64E has been upgraded to coordinate reconnaissance and air strikes with drones that fly ahead of the chopper and send back real-time video data of the environment and any human activity within the target area. By combining drones with attack helicopters, the military can leverage the best strengths of each.
The F-35's most recent bug list and product status has been released. The aircraft's state remains abysmal, and the DoD is counseling against any kind of bulk purchasing program.
The FAA has released its drone registration rules, and while the fees are minor, the penalties for failing to register aren't. From this point forward, drone pilots are considered aviators, and must learn to share airspace with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
DARPA's newest research project can let helicopters land on up to a 20-degree grade — a breakthrough that could change military aviation.
The FAA released a report today on the frequency of encounters between drones and aircraft. The two vehicles are running into each other with increasing frequency, and the costs of the entanglement are very real.
The largest aircraft ever built, Paul Allen's Stratolaunch design, is moving into production and plans to take flight in 2016. If successful, it'll be capable of launching larger payloads into space than any previous air launch vehicle.
Spanish firm Axter Aerospace has developed a new hybrid powerplant that may transform the small single-engine aircraft world, making flight far less risky.
A new report claims the F-35 Raptor can't match the performance of an F-16 in simulated dogfighting. The US government disputes several aspects of the report, but not persuasively.
In days gone by, captains sailed their vessels over the oceans by aid of the stars. Today, this has been mostly replaced by GPS, but the stars may soon make a comeback.
Reconnaissance Drones that are small enough to fit in your pocket are being tested by the U.S. military. Army Special Forces have been testing the lightweight reconnaissance drone since March.
The search for MH 370 continues, but poor weather conditions and the lack of results have forced authorities to widen the search grid and shift the search further south.
